Planting the Seed for 9/11 In The American Mind (Part 1)

An exploration into the hidden history behind the scenes of the 9/11 ‘Hollywood’ set that shook the world and still impacts our lives today.

In the 1978 movie, The Medusa Touch, Richard Burton plays a character who used mind control to crash a passenger plane into a New York skyscraper. Screenshot from the movie.

Novels and the surreal world of Hollywood movies and television can sow seeds of a future reality most would find impossible to imagine in real life. These seeds, however, can remain dormant for years in carefully prepared fertile soil, where, given the right opportunities, can suddenly grow into terrifying realities that leave us numb and speechless, and unable to act. It was just a horror movie…right? Fiction?

When I read George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four in the sixties, never in my wildest imagination did I ever think that something akin to a ‘Big Brother’ surveillance state could ever become a sinister reality. And in 2014, the bearers of news in New Zealand that we could lose our sovereignty because of it largely fell mostly on the deaf ears of people in denial that surveillance could ever take away our freedom. After all, wasn’t it just used to catch the terrorists before they did us harm?

Similarly, those who watched a 1978 horror movie starring Richard Burton in The Medusa Touch probably never imagined in their wildest dreams that a scene from a Hollywood movie could ever happen in ‘real’ life. Nevertheless, Burton plants the first seed for 9/11 by playing the role of a man who possesses the power to cause disasters simply by thinking about them and, in the following horrifying scene, causes a passenger jet to crash into a New York skyscraper.

Another 9/11 seed was planted on 4 March 2001, when the Murdoch-owned Fox Network aired the first of a 13-part series of The Lone Gunmen called Pilot. A computer hacker, working for a secret cabal within the government, takes remote control of a Boeing 727 passenger plane with the intention of crashing it into one of the World Trade Center towers.

The truth revealed in this episode was that America needed an enemy to generate more arms sales. Perhaps you may recall Eisenhower’s chilling warning about the rise of the Military Industrial Complex in his Farewell Address in 1961:

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist.

Now this conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence—economic, political, even spiritual—is felt in every city, every Statehouse, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet, we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources, and livelihood are all involved. So is the very structure of our society.

Within this speech a seed is sown of potential danger and threat lurking within the establishment of a new arms industry. But such an industry has to convince the public of its right to exist. Since it is there for protection, it must convince the people that there is in fact an enemy from whom they need protecting. This is why Communist Soviet Russia, an ally during WWII, became an enemy through manufactured fear – firstly of communism, and then a possible Soviet nuclear attack on American soil. Some of you may even recall the drills at school and the actions adults were told to take when sirens sounded warnings of an imminent Soviet nuclear attack. I wonder what went through little children’s minds during drills that had them ducking under the cover of their desks to escape the fallout from such bombs. Did it also program them to “duck and cover” in every threatening situation for the rest of their lives?

Featured at the beginning of Massimo Mazzucco’s revealing documentary about the historical underpinnings of 9/11 and the neocons’ Project For A New American Century, film clips shown in movie theaters during the 1950s give instructions on what to do during a Soviet nuclear attack.

During the 1970s terrorists began hijacking passenger planes in other parts of the world. But who were these terrorists? Americans would find out through a horror movie released the year before The Medusa Touch, in 1977. In Black Sunday terrorism came to American shores in the form of a group of Palestinian Arab terrorists called the Black September Movement. Their plan was to detonate explosives and poisoned shrapnel loaded into the Good Year blimp’s cabin as it flew over the Super Bowl stadium packed with eighty thousand people.

The chilling message Black September members sent to Americans was this: 

People of America, this situation is unbearable for us. Until you understand that and stop helping the Israelis with arms and money, we of the Black September Movement will make it unbearable for you.

In Black Sunday, terrified people ran in blind panic to get out of the stadium. The seed planted in the American mind was that Arabs were terrorists, and terrorists could strike at any time, anywhere. However, unbeknown to anyone at the time, the propagandizing of Arabs as terrorists was linked to an institute founded by Benjamin Netanyahu and his father in Israel in September 1976. It was called the Jonathan Institute in memory of Netanyahu’s brother, Jonathan, who was killed during the 1976 Israeli raid on Entebbe, Uganda to free hijacked Air France hostages. Wayne Madsen dived beneath the surface of this story to reveal:

The Israel raid, according to classified documents prepared by British diplomat D. H. Colvin on June 30, 1976, three days after the hijacking, suggested that Israel conducted the hijacking by infiltrating Shin Bet agents into the ranks of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and using them as dupes in carrying out a hijacking arranged by the Israelis.  The goal of the “false flag” hijacking was to create an event designed to whip up support in France for Israel.¹

What about a seed sown for the collapse of towering financial symbols? It just so happens that by the end of the movie Fight Club, released in 1999, Fight Club has become a domestic terrorist organization. The last scene shows two of the leading characters standing at a penthouse window holding hands, forming an “M” for “project Mayhem,” while watching the controlled demolition of skyscrapers housing banks that had made them financially impotent through credit card debt.

As you can see, powerful images planted seeds in the American mind of a 9/11-type event. Now let us delve deeper into Orwell’s Nineteen-Eighty-Four and the seeds it contains for a post-9/11 world, also keeping in mind Eisenhower’s warning about the growing influence of the Military Industrial Complex.

Perhaps like me, the concept of a ‘Big Brother’ constantly watching you was what stayed in your mind years after reading Orwell’s book. Maybe it reminded you of Stalin’s Soviet Union where a dissenter could be dragged off unexpectedly to languish for years in the Gulags that Solzhenitsyn wrote so powerfully about in A Day in The Life of Ivan Denisovich.

But do you remember reading a chapter in 1984 called War Is Peace which contained a ‘book within the book’ titled The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism? I must have glossed over this in my twenties as being totally in the realm of the unreal of the unreal. (Yes, I deliberately repeated that.) Perhaps it was more likely that I had no idea what ‘oligarchical collectivism’ was. However, it is vitally important that we understand what it is now and how it could play out in the post-Covid-19 world. If you cannot remember it, I urge you to read it again so you will begin to recognize within Orwell’s dystopian nightmare glimpses of the world we are living in today, and the real reasons behind the War On Terror that Hillary Clinton suggested would last for at least thirty years…if not a century. The following selected passages from Orwell’s book should disturb us all…

The primary aim of modern warfare is to use up the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living.

… The problem was how to keep the wheels of industry turning without increasing the real wealth of the world. Goods must be produced, but they must not be distributed. And in practice the only way of achieving this was by continuous warfare. The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.

… The social atmosphere is that of a besieged city, where the possession of a lump of horseflesh makes the difference between wealth and poverty. And at the same time the consciousness of being at war, and therefore in danger, makes the handing-over of all power to a small caste seem the natural, unavoidable condition of survival.

It makes me wonder now if Orwell was privy to some of the machinations behind the political façade at the time he wrote his book, which was published in 1949. Did Orwell sow seeds for an already planned future reality? Was he trying to warn us of what was heading our way in the not-too-distant future so we would recognize the signs and take effective action to thwart the plans? Was ‘Big Brother’ a ‘one world government’ which Stalin (like Putin later) wanted nothing to do with? And was this why the Pentagon began secretly plotting in 1942 to “wipe the Soviet Union off the map” with 204 atomic bombs against 66 major cities?

Fred Warburg was the publisher of Nineteen-Eighty-Four. It was he who suggested this title rather than Orwell’s “The Last Man in Europe.” Orwell was sick with tuberculosis at the time he wrote it and had to push himself to finish it, even though he was dissatisfied with the way it was coming together. I wonder now whether it was a commissioned book after reading that Fred Warburg belonged to the Fabian Society, formed in 1884 with a secret goal to establish “an atheistic, classless, socialist society, which would prepare the way for the final victory – communism.” ²

It was to this end the Fabians formed the Labour Party in Britain in 1906, and by 1918 it had taken over all the main ideas of the Fabian Society. With the insignia of a wolf in sheep’s clothing, the Fabians introduced social welfare programs designed to attract the working class vote, with the intention of later dismantling them.

Fabianism spread to other countries, including the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Denmark, Germany, Spain and India. Famous Fabians include George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells, Walter Lippmann, Bertrand Russell, Julian Huxley, Aldous Huxley and economist John Maynard Keynes. Ramsey MacDonald (British prime minister 1924, 1929-35), Dean Acheson (Truman’s Secretary of State, who played a central role in defining American foreign policy during the Cold War), Harold Wilson (British prime minister from 1964 to 1970 and 1974 to 1976), as well as Prime Minister Tony Blair, were also Fabians.³ Coincidentally, George Orwell’s real name was Eric Blair.

Speaking of coincidences, the name Warburg also featured among the bankers who financed the Bolsheviks and Nazis. It was Max Warburg who played an important role in funding the Communist propaganda in Russia.⁴

Paul Warburg in New York was one of the founders of the Federal Reserve in 1913, whom President Wilson appointed Vice-Governor of the Federal Reserve System, and then approved the Warburg amendment, thereby converting the system into a central bank with authority to fix and regulate America’s economy.⁵ And it was Paul Warburg’s son, James Warburg, who testified before the US Senate on February 17, 1950 and bluntly stated:

“We will have a world government whether you like it or not. The only question is whether that government will be achieved by conquest or consent.”

President George H.W. Bush, whose father Prescott Bush also financially supported the rise of Nazis, presented the idea of a world government – a “New World Order” – at the beginning of the U.S. wars in the Middle East. Coincidentally, he included this “New World Order” idea in his speech before a joint session of Congress on September 11, 1990 at the beginning of the Gulf War, and in his speech on September 11, 1991 at the end of it (below). Seems like the Bushes just love that date.

We are Americans,” he said, “part of something larger than ourselves… What is at stake is more than one small country. It is a big idea. A New World Order where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause, to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind: peace and security, freedom, and the rule of law… Tonight we work to achieve another victory: a victory over tyranny and savage aggression.

All it took to rally Americans to support this first Gulf War was for a Kuwaiti nurse to tell the story of Iraqi soldiers removing babies from incubators, taking the incubators, and leaving the children to “die on the cold floor.” The ‘nurse’ Nayirah, was in fact the 15-year-old daughter of the Kuwaiti Ambassador in Washington. She was professionally trained by advertising agency Hill and Knowlton to tell the entire fake incubator story.

Not only that, the whole story that led America into the first Gulf War was based on a string of lies. During an interview with Dr. Rashid Buttar in the early days of Covid-19 (video removed from You Tube and Dr. Buttar is now dead), he revealed part of the startling truth behind the lie that America went into this war. Supposedly it was to “protect the oil interests of Kuwait after Iraq had set fires on their wells,” but Dr. Buttar said that a very close friend told him the story that he, and eleven of his men, in six dune buggies, went out and set those 300 fires. “We created that false flag event so that we could justify our actions,” his friend said.

Are you starting to get the idea that this “new world order” might not be such a great idea if so many lies are told to justify bombing countries ‘back to the stone age’ and destroying people’s lives to create it? Instead of babies being taken out of incubators and left to die, the stark cold truth is that Americans inflicted horrifying birth defects on Iraqi babies through the illegal use of depleted uranium during George W’s “War on Terror” – a war that was based upon another lie that Iraq “possessed weapons of mass destruction.”

In 2007 General Wesley Clark said that we should be concerned about the strategy of the US in this region in what he called a “policy coup” after 9/11. “What is our aim?” he said. “What is our purpose? Why are we there? Why are Americans dying in this region? That is the issue.”

In the 1939 movie Wizard of Oz, Toto pulls back the curtain to expose the wizard manipulating things behind the scenes.

Similarly, men and women have conspired behind the scenes throughout history to reshape the world according to their ideology. The neocons have been pulling strings behind the political scenes since the Ford administration. They are still at it with the war in Ukraine, continuing the chaos they unleashed on the world after achieving their hoped for “new Pearl Harbor” event of 9/11. This is what they wrote in their Project for a New American Century publication, Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New Century…

…the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.

What sort of transformation did they want? Read page 60 of their above-mentioned document. It may shock you to read that biological warfare can become a “politically useful tool” to bring about the sort of changes they sought:

Robbie Martin put together a very informative and nightmarish 3-part series on the Neocons called A Very Heavy Agenda outlining how the main thrust of the Neocon agenda (which dictates America’s foreign policy in the Middle East) comes from Bill Kristol and the Kagan family, which includes Victoria Nuland (married to Robert Kagan), who directed the 2014 coup in Ukraine to oust the democratically elected President Yanukovich. Now she is Acting Deputy Secretary of State, and of course wholeheartedly supports the war against Russia. How is it that these unelected people have this much control of U.S. foreign policy? And who is behind them?

The following is the trailer for Part 3 od A Very Heavy Agenda, which gives some idea of just who these people are.

With the “War on Terror” marking the beginning of George Orwell’s “continuous warfare,” perhaps it is necessary to take a peek behind the curtain at some of the actors pulling strings in the lead-up to the 9/11 tragedy. I will return later to George H.W. Bush.
